thought it would be nice to post our sightings of smart cars we see here in Indiana.

you know, kind of like 'stalking' but legal........

i'll get this started with a sighting by one of my co-workers this weekend (of course "I" couldn't have seen one....no such luck!) at Heartland Crossing on SR 67 near Mooresville.

all she could tell me was that it was "silver and REALLY CUTE"!! girls.....

I saw a blue and silver one heading west on 74 towards Illinois as I was heading east on 74 towards Indy in my blue and silver one.

Meaux

There is a yellow one in the parking lot of LILLY also. I have a friend who works there.

I just left the carwash here in town with my truck. Saw a Blue/Black Cabrio just like ours drive by. Had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't my wife or daughter. Also about a month ago I came out of the Best Buy in town and saw a Black/Silver/Red parked next to mine. My son and I met the nice lady and her daughter. Seems they saw ours and came to park next to it with no intention of shopping at Best Buy!

I saw a Yellow/Silver in South Bend on the 9th at about 4:05pm. Two cars behind me on Colfax east bound, then south bound on Hill still just behind me, though I couldn't see if it was a Cabrio or not. So happy to see one in town, but haven't seen it again.

that's funny.....did you happen to end up 'sharing' a parking space?

One parked every day at N. Michigan Rd. at the Pearson Ford dealer. It's a White/Black/Beige cabriolet, I think it's there just for bait.

Nope, just parked next to each other. I tried to insert the pic here, but can't seem to get it to work.

A Bumblee in the front row at Royal on the Eastside here in Bloomington. Haven't stopped to get the details, but I know they buy cars from other dealers and overprice them, just to have something unique on the lot. They are a VW, Audi, Subaru, Nissan, Linclon/Mercury dealer, but almost always have a few late model Mini's, Porsch's, etc to draw attention.
